Heart of the desert
Ai Zhun
In the desert of California, there is a small town called Baghdad, which has the same name as the war-torn Baghdad, but there is no smoke and battlefield, only endless desert and beautiful sky.
There is a legend in Baghdad that the priceless jewel "Heart of the Desert" is hidden in a small town, and whoever finds it will get happiness, which makes Baghdad doubly mysterious.
There is a cafe in Baghdad town. The owner's name is Andrew, a strong man with a simple and honest smile. He makes the coffee shop in this desert town warm and full of life. People like to sit here, and cafes have gradually become the leisure center of people in the town. One summer day, the quiet life of the town was suddenly broken, and a woman in rags knocked on the door of the cafe.
She told people that her name was Kate, and she was a student in the Department of Archaeology of new york University. She got separated from her teacher when she took part in archaeological activities. Her face was tired and her big eyes begged Andrew to take her in. From then on, she stayed in a coffee shop to earn money to go back to school.
The young girl Kate became Andrew's new assistant. She loves life and treats people warmly, and soon won the love of the town residents. Like a young couple, they open the shop at nine o'clock every day on time, share black coffee in the sunset dusk, and take stock of the accounts for the day together after closing at night. Life is trivial and warm.
⑥ Baghdad Cafe is also quietly changing: the gloomy stove is polished, and green plants are placed next to the old bartenders. Kate will personally make Andrew a cup of hot milk every night, so that Andrew can sleep soundly every night.
7. Kate's carefulness and happiness moved Andrew unconsciously. Sometimes he even thinks that it would be nice if Kate were here all the time, but he knows it's impossible. Kate is a beautiful young college student, but he is just a middle-aged man guarding an old coffee shop in the desert.
One night, sleeping Andrew was suddenly awakened by a noisy sound. He hurried out to check, only to see Kate shut the door in a panic. Andrew didn't ask any questions. Life has taught him that everyone has his own story, and the cafes in Baghdad are calm again.
Pet-name ruby two months passed quickly, and Andrew urged Kate to go back to school to continue her studies. Kate doesn't want to leave. In the gloom, Kate secretly hugged Andrew from behind: "I like you, and I know you like me, too." Will you let me stay? " Kate's expectant eyes are gentle and clear.
Attending physician Andrew gently released Kate's hand, took out an ancient necklace from the box in the room and hung it around Kate's neck. The pendant on the necklace is an ordinary colored stone.
1 1 Andrew told Kate that this stone was found by grandpa in World War II. In the war-torn years, he always took it with him to keep him safe and gave it to his grandmother after the war. This ordinary stone is a symbol of their love. "Give it to you, hoping to bring you peace and happiness." Andrew hung a colored stone necklace around Kate's neck and whispered.
12 Unexpectedly, the next day, Kate quietly left the desert town and disappeared, as if she had never been here and no one knew where she had gone.
13 time flies, three years have passed. In the autumn of the fourth year, Andrew received a letter from new york:
Dear Andrew:
I'm sorry I lied to you. Actually, I'm a jeweler. Three years ago, everything in your coffee shop was arranged by a smuggling ring, just to steal the heart of the desert.
But I fell in love with you unconsciously, so I chose to leave ... Later, I made a lot of efforts to bid farewell to that terrible past. Now I am a freshman in new york University. I have fulfilled my promise to you and live a good life. I hope you will forgive me. If you can forgive me, just put a bunch of roses in front of the cafe.
Still love you, Kate.
14 the cafe in the town is as lively as ever, and only very careful people can notice a bunch of roses in front of the door. One day, Andrew was ready to close the door as usual, only to find that the door left unlocked was pushed open and a beautiful and fashionable girl pushed it in. It's Kate! Excited Andrew took a deep breath and gently held her hand. His eyes were full of tears but he couldn't say anything.
15 actually, Kate added sleeping pills to Andrew's milk every day. Andrew found out that he didn't disclose it. He hopes that Kate will be really honest with him one day.
16 The light is still so gentle. In the moonlight, Kate's face seems to have a happy light ring. Kate said playfully to Andrew, "I'll tell you another secret." I have found the center of the desert. "
17 Kate leaned her head gently in Andrew's arms and listened to Andrew's warm heartbeat-what jewelry in this world is more precious than the sincere heart of her beloved? Andrew fondled Kate's curly hair affectionately. She wore Andrew's colored gems around her neck, which was especially bright in the moonlight. Kate didn't know that, in fact, in addition to being a symbol of love for Andrew's grandparents, it also had a name-"Heart of the Desert".
18 the next day, the residents of the town saw yellow roses and red roses in front of the cafe, and the delicate roses were swaying in the desert. Yellow pours out forgiveness, and red symbolizes hope and love.
19 There is still a legend in the small town of Baghdad that only those who have an honest heart can find the "heart of the desert" and get happiness.
